$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have over 3 years of experience working with children of different ages. I teach kids languages and regularly work with them in various settings, which helps me understand their needs and personalities well. I also grew up taking care of my four younger siblings, so being around kids is a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, play, and feel safe.

$18 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and well-rounded professional with over 25 years of experience in caregiving, wellness, and creative program facilitation. I hold a degree in alternative medicine with a focus on herbalism, aromatherapy, and nutrition, allowing me to support individuals through a holistic and integrative approach to health and well-being. With personal experience managing food allergies, I specialize in preparing and planning gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free meals. I bring both practical knowledge and empathy into this work, helping others navigate dietary needs in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and sustainable. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with seniors, children of all ages, and families. My experience includes running after-school programs, where I created structured, engaging, and nurturing environments that supported both learning and personal growth. I am known for my patience, reliability, and ability to build strong, trusting relationships. In the past three years, I have expanded my work into pet care, building a loyal clientele by providing reliable and attentive overnight pet sitting services. I am committed to ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, while giving pet owners peace of mind. In addition to my caregiving and wellness background, I am highly creative, artistic, and organized. I enjoy crafting, designing meaningful experiences, and bringing order and calm to spaces and routines. I take pride in helping others feel supported, whether through hands-on care, creative expression, or thoughtful organization. I am passionate about helping people live healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling lives. I bring a warm, grounded presence, strong work ethic, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact in every role I take on.
